Variations of the Asparagus Spears and Spanish Ham- K.Hauser

A great pasta dish for any occasion:

Carefully rinse wild herbs in lukewarm water and drain. Remove the peel from the white asparagus spears. Rinse wild asparagus stalks thoroughly. Blanch chives briefly in boiling hot salted water, cool and drain.

Cut the wild asparagus stalks into long pieces and tie them with the previously blanched chives.

To cook the asparagus, bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil, season with sugar (1), juice of one lemon and butter. Cook the asparagus bundles al dente (they need only a short cooking time, about two to three minutes). At the same time, cook the white peeled asparagus spears for the asparagus ragout also al dente.

For the asparagus ragout, cut the cooked asparagus spears into even slices. Place in a saucepan with vegetable stock, bring to the boil and season with salt and sugar. Stir in the butter and refine with plucked chervil.

For the “asparagus noodles”, cut the white peeled asparagus stalks in half or thirds – each according to length – and plane lengthwise with a mandolin or similar, so that long narrow strips are formed – or peel off narrow strips with a peeler. Melt the butter in a frying pan, add the sugar (2) and caramelize until light. Toss the asparagus strips in it and extinguish with the white port wine.
